NAK. Please do not add such mess to the Makefile. It does not belong there. If you want such behaviour, it should be added to the make command itself.
funny, i could say the same exact thing about "quiet" config output. make already has an option to accomplish exactly that: use the --silent option. i dont see why you would ban pretty output in favor of using standard make options while at the same exact time you want to change u-boot's make code so that it produces pretty output instead of using standard make options that already exist.
how are these situations any different ? -mike
